Ta' Blankas Dolmen B
Ta' Blankas Dolmen B submitted by enkidu41 : This dolmen is the twin of Ta' Blankas dolmen A only about 100' away. Like dolmen A it comprises a capstone supported only at one end over a thin slab. Also like its twin there appears to be a row of smaller boulders leading away from the corner of the tomb. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Burial Chamber (Dolmen) in Gozo. This dolmen is in an olive grove to the south of the village of Xewkija on Gozo. It is similar to the nearby Ta' Blankas Dolmen A but has a thicker capstone.
